I still need about 8 gen ed credits (assuming I pass everything this term).
Dang, I was hoping you'd know something about the art department... :<

68 credits for a B.A. in Art, and then the fifth year of school you switch that to a B.F.A. in Photography, and add
3 courses Art History (1 academic year)
6 credits 409 BFA Terminal Creative Project
